Hey Kids! Comics! #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHoward Chaykin's Hey Kids! Comics! delivers a wonderfully meta fourth issue, its cover depicting a cluttered artist's desk strewn with rough comic page sketches, pencils, and coffee cups — all anchored by a rejection letter on Manhattan Magazine letterhead, dated April 1984, politely suggesting that comics samples were "more appropriate for the kids' table at a barber shop than" the magazine. It's a wry, instantly evocative image that speaks directly to the series' exploration of the comics industry's complicated history. Cover art by Don M. Cameron makes the whole scene feel lived-in and painfully relatable for anyone who's ever chased a creative dream.

Powerhouse tells his readers to save their hate for people who really are different from them - but in a bait and switch, he's not talking about his extraterrestrial foes, he means people from the Middle East.
